NAWA Glory 9/22/05
Tonight: Tony Mamaluke puts the NAWA International Title on the line against Raven, Ron Killings faces off against Teddy Hart, Chris Sabin, Matt Bentley, and AJ Styles team up to face off against Austin Aries, Alex Shelley, and Samoa Joe, and much more.
Out comes Team 3D from the back to start, talking about the events of last week, how they have had their problems with the NAWA World Champion Miles Stylish and Christopher Daniels. The crowd is cheering as Brothers Ray and Devon challenge them to a tag team match later tonight. Out comes Miles Stylish, still with taped ribs, who states there is no way that he is teaming up with Christopher Daniels tonight, in fact the Las Vegas Trauma he gave the Fallen Angel at the end of Glory should sum up his opinion on the Fallen Angel. "Natural Born Killerz" by Dr. Dre/Icecube plays and out comes New Jack, who puts Stylish in his place, saying that Stylish doesn't make the matches, New Jack does, therefore, it will happen tonight, Team 3D squaring off against Miles Stylish and Christopher Daniels. If Stylish does anything to cost Daniels the match, he is stripped of his NAWA World Title and if Daniels does anything to Stylish during the course of the match, he can kiss his number one contenders slot good bye. Team 3D looks pleased and Stylish looks enraged, saying that Christopher Daniels better enjoy his last ten days as an able bodied person because Stylish is going to put him in traction, much like he did to Ron Waterman, with multiple Las Vegas Traumas. The crowd cheers but Stylish remarks that he could care less what they think, which draws boos. Nevertheless, the main event will be Team 3D against Miles Stylish and Christopher Daniels in an odd tag team match.
